I’ve seen and been in so many Shakespeare plays that I was excited to see what the medium of Shibari could add. Frequently, love and obsession can be lost in a tangle of iambic pentameter, but the chemistry between Shibari tiers and models is so powerful, that it moves you more than most full productions of Romeo and Juliet. Everyone’s athleticism and skill is on full display, but their engagement with the Bard in voiceover and whispers added a new element of literary beauty and intention. While “oh what a tangled web we weave” is Walter Scott rather than Shakespeare, it popped into my mind as an apt inspiration for the Bard’s jute ropes needing to come unknotted before he can scribble his thoughts. A doff of the cap to the entire cast and crew, I would absolutely come again <3
